01
Website building
New sites designed around your customers: services, about, contact, galleries, blogs or whatever the job actually needs. We write a clear page list first so you know what you are getting.
Home / Services
Build, host, upgrade, redesign
One team for the website itself and the hosting it runs on. We work from a simple brochure page up to a shop that takes orders.
02
Hosting
Reliable hosting, SSL certificates, email mailboxes and the day-to-day looking after that keeps a site online. Hosting can sit with a new build or as a move from another provider. We work with MySQL and MariaDB databases for shops, member areas and anything else that needs a proper data store.
03
Upgrades
Move an old site onto a modern setup, add pages, forms, booking, better mobile layout, or connect the extras you have outgrown — including MySQL or MariaDB work where the site already uses a database.
04
Redesign
Keep your name and content where it still works, and give the site a professional look that matches how you trade now — not how it looked ten years ago.
Domains
We can register domain names
Need a new .co.uk, .com or similar? We can register the name, point it at the hosting, and keep the renewal in order so the site and the address stay together.
If you already own a domain, we can move it to us or leave it where it is and just point the DNS. See some of the sites we look after on the examples page.
With a domain we typically handle
- New registrations
- DNS so the site and email resolve correctly
- SSL certificates
- Renewals, so the name does not lapse
Databases
MySQL and MariaDB
We can design, host and look after MySQL and MariaDB databases as part of a new site, a shop, or an upgrade. That includes setting them up on our hosting, moving an existing database from another server, and wiring the website to it so products, customers and orders are stored properly.
Typical database work
- New MySQL or MariaDB setup with the site
- Moving a database when we take over hosting
- Ecommerce catalogues and order records
- Backups and access for the site that uses them
Ecommerce
When you are ready to sell online
A fully operational ecommerce site is more than a pretty product grid. We plan catalogue structure, checkout, payments, order emails, delivery options and the hosting that has to stay up when you are busy.
If you only need a brochure site today, we can still leave room to add a shop later without throwing the first site away.
Shop features we commonly include
- Product pages, categories and search
- Basket and checkout
- Card payments
- Order confirmation emails
- Admin for products and orders
- Delivery and collection options
After launch
Smaller updates, when you need them
Once the site is live, most people need occasional copy changes, new photos, extra pages or seasonal offers. Buy hour slots and we use them against that work, rather than opening a full project each time.
